About this project,

- it is a SoC produced in China by some no name company
- None of persons working on this project will probably ever be able to
get money on it
- our target is to have open and as chap as possible board.

You will need:
- own evaluation board and some jtag adapter for openocd (i use bus
blaster v3, some thing else should work too)
- probably most important, fix you patch and community skills - if i see
it correctly, your reputation need really hard work to be acceptable.

If you ok with all this, send me privately you skype name. It is
probably most stable way to communicate with devs in china.
